sugarplum skyp socks



So happy that the first project off the needles in 2016 is a pair of colorful skyp socks! Still very much enchanted with both the pattern and the stripey fun felici yarn that pairs up nicely with it. I have a feeling that 2016 will be the year that I finally get hooked on sock knitting. In fact, I recently purchased an Artbin Super Satchel with removable plastic dividers to store future finished socks in. A bit optimistic of me but it's hard not to get excited with the possibility that this....


....might someday be filled with these:


One down, many more to go!

  2. That's a neat way to store socks! I've been reminded how neglected my past, handknitted socks need washings as they've been sitting on my closet floor ever since we moved. Other than that, I love your new pair. Their colors are happy ones.

  4. Those socks are fantastic, I love the felici colourway you chose. And those photos of the organizer with the yarn, and then with socks... heck yeah. That's a great game plan!

  8. Hurrah for the first pair of socks of the year! I love the idea of slowly replacing the balls of sock yarn with actual hand knit socks. Also a fantastic idea for storing socks in general, I sadly keep them in a cardboard shoe box (they deserve so much better!).
